KeymasterGoing to a Forum always brings one to the top, first page regardless of how one wants to go there.
On the front page, you have to click on the “timestamp” of the post (e.g. 4 hours ago): there is a link there that actually takes you straight to the post.
I guess this should be signaled better – perhaps the link should be red, or there should be a more explicit “click here to view the post” link, or the link with the name of the forum should also take you straight to the post?

KeymasterThis being a matter of great concern, I’ve decided to take action against these accounts based on your reports and after a few checks of my own. I’ve also caught the other day another bot spamming the front page.
Thank you for your help in keeping the site clean.

ModeratorAnd another one, xxxx2323. The change to CAPTCHA is probably the cause behind this.

Participant@xxxx2323 (shown as joyce maama) has to be a spam bot and should be removed.

Hyyppa. Reason: Copy-pasting spam is almost as bad as spamming itself

ModeratorTrue Hyyppa. Before we had no spammers but a lot of people also could not register or got locked out.
Than’s for the heads up Jaiden. We are on it. 🙂Thu, Dec 6th '18 at 18h 57m 41s #8632Bersimon
KeymasterI’ll look into the matter of the Captcha when possible.

KeymasterI’ve added a simple filter for these random names, barring registration when there is an absurd rate of consonants to vowels, or if it is made up of only letters of either type, or no letters at all.

KeymasterI’ve added a display for recently active members and friends activity to the sidebar. Any feedback is welcome.

ModeratorNice indeed.
Something that everyone has been asking for as an addition to this sites posting means be a PREVIEW function like we had on the old forums.
This would help a lot to boost posting habits since folks would be less frustrated by their input getting cut out, not displayed right or downright eaten from the security filter.
Also could prevent getting banned from here in some cases.
We are still having problems with folks getting meaninglessly banned for no reason.Site addition idea.
If possible could the main page function to Post into your own profile get changed into posting (fast post style) into a sort of chat box like the shout-box of former URB.com?
It got lil usage there but as long as the Discord Chanel rules supreme on the convenience level this place will always slack hard behind.Sat, Jan 25th '20 at 12h 26m 14s #9212Lance
ModeratorAttention Everyone!
Bersimon the great has fixed a function that was kicking and banning folks here so it should be a lot less hassle now to come here without worrying about getting kicked.
Furthermore, and this is awesome too, this “fix” improved site performance (speed) considerably.
You folks must try it out. Navigating is super fast now.
Thanks to Bersimon. - This reply was modified 2 years, 1 month ago by
